Archetypal Meditations - Nau7ik - 02-21-2019 Hello! I am writing this thread as apart of my personal work of meditating on the 22 archetypes/keys/Atu and Hebrew Letters. There are various ways to study the archetypes. I particularly find Qabalah and Ra to be the most resonant with myself. Each is valuable, but here we’re working with Hermetic Qabalah. The positions and relationships on the Tree of Life help to further “flesh out” the ideas involved. I did a meditation yesterday on II. The High Priestess, Gimel ג. Path #13 on the Tree of Life. This path crosses the Abyss (the area between the three top sphere and the bottom 7; the concept is the great gulf that separates us from divine awareness) and runs between 1- Kether, the Primal Will, and 6- Tiphareth, the sphere of the Sun; Christ principle; Divine Beauty. This was the most challenging meditation so far, and I’ve only just begun! (I’ve done before this: 0 א and I ב). Quote:4 As the substance whence all forms arise, Compare this quote with the symbolism of the High Priestess. Here, the High Priestess is likened to the Sephiah Chokmah—Wisdom because Chokmah and Gimel share the same numerical value in Gemetria. So this would be the Inferior Nature, Chokmah—Wisdom. While the Superior Nature is the Primal Will, the Crown—Kether. These two natures are the same, the superior nature is unmoved; fixed; like the violet ray chakra. Chokmah is an emenation of that Primal Will in dynamic activity. It is the Word gone forth. Wisdom is spoken of as a women because the relative polarity to Kether. It proceeds from the Primal Source, hence it is in the position to receive. This same Wisdom is known as Father elsewhere as it stands above the other sephiroth, And is a masculine sephiroth in its own right on the pillar of Mercy (right side of three 2, 4, 7). “For She is the virgin substance of all things, Whose purity naught can defile.” Quote:3 Mine inferior nature is the universal substance, And finally the half-hidden scroll that the High Priestess holds. Quote:6 Creation is the record of mine ever-changing manifestation. The High Priestess sits between the two black and white pillars, the pillars of manifestation; the pillars of Mercy and Severity. She is in perfect equilibrium. To keep the Lord in remembrance is to unite oneself with Life Eternal, that is, Tiphareth connecting to Kether. “None get to the Father but by Me.” Rising to Life Eternal is the initiation of Tiphareth, the Christ. Therefore, to unite oneself with the Source of Wisdom is to gain the knowledge of the Scroll. This is the mystical path of the High Priestess which seeks Union with God as the ultimate goal. What’s interesting is that the false Sephirah Da’ath represents Knowledge, which path 13 runs across in the Abyss on the Tree of Life. Anyway, that’s all I have to share for now. I hope this is helpful to someone. Thank you for listening |
